NY3956SE CARLISLE CASTLE
671-1/6/2 Bridge over outer moat
01/06/49
GV I
Drawbridge, converted to overbridge. Part medieval with late
C18 additions and C20 part-rebuilding of parapet. Large blocks
of squared red sandstone. At the base of the bridge are the
drawbridge abutments; heightened between 1778-1791 and brick
arch added. West solid parapet has coping inscribed by various
C19 soldiers who served in the garrison; the right parapet has
been rebuilt using new coping. The roadway is of Whin sets and
a central sandstone pedestrian walk, all reset in the late
1980s. For full details see McCarthy et al (1990). A
watercolour of Carlisle Castle by Robert Carlyle shows the
arched bridge in 1791 (not on Hearne's engraving of 1778).
